Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 52 kt fast at 222 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb
Arrival
Steepen the descent on final to rejoin the glideslope, aiming to cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: The approach drifted above the glideslope, carrying the aircraft across the threshold at 69 ft against the 50 ft target. Crossing the threshold high like this usually carries the touchdown point long.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude against 50 ft on short final to confirm the glidepath is recaptured before the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,930 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and glideslope 4.8° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,786 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,786 m of the 3,100 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 622 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft departed from Manchester Airport (EGCC) on runway 23R, taking off with a distance of 1,371 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 165 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its ascent from a height of 1,227 feet above sea level, eventually reaching a maximum altitude of 35,735 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 124 nautical miles and took approximately 18 minutes to complete. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for extended periods. The first level cruise phase lasted 41 minutes and covered 313 nautical miles, while subsequent level cruise phases were shorter in duration, lasting between 2 and 5 minutes. The aircraft began its descent from its cruising altitude, initially reducing its altitude by 3,513 feet in 3 minutes, followed by a more gradual descent of 14,435 feet in 9 minutes. The final descent phase saw the aircraft reduce its altitude by 14,517 feet in 14 minutes.
The aircraft began its final approach to runway 05 at Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport (LFBD), descending from an altitude of 16,496 feet above sea level to a height of 1,979 feet. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 133 knots, with a touchdown point located 208 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance was 1,707 meters, accounting for 55% of the runway. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 595 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 96 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3,582 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 05 at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport from the south west was executed with a heading of 42.0° at 3 nm and 1,792 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height at 70 ft agl that was above the target, indicating a slightly higher than desired rate of descent. However, the threshold speed was good at 136 kt, demonstrating a well-controlled approach.
The aircraft touched down 208 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -340 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 38 °C and a wind of 7 kt at 115°, resulted in a crosswind of 6 kt and a headwind of 2 kt.
The total landing distance was 1,707 m, which accounted for 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 89.4%, reflecting a good performance in terms of approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout alignment, but with some room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and threshold height.
